The fortified wines Quinta do Noval Vintage Port DOC, vintage 2016 from the winery Quinta do Noval has been rated in 2018 by Peter Moser with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Touriga Nacional, Tinta Francisca , Tinto Cao from the region Douro in Portugal.
Deep dark ruby garnet colour with purple reflections and very delicate brightening at the rim. Delicately balsamic nose with a touch of nougat, dried figs, tobacco notes and candied orange zest. The palate is powerful, vivid and very substantial with well-integrated tannins, subtle hints of cocoa, a touch of minerality and very well structured. There is a chocolate touch on the finish which lingers for an extremely long period. There is certainly great ageing potential here, this is a wine at the beginning of a great and long career.
